Swingin' at Jack Rose

Jack Rose771 Eight Avenue(NW corner of 47 Street & 8th Ave)PLEASE NOTE: This venue is no longer in business. As a small note of consolation, the national restaurant chain that took it over and ruined it went out of business.

There was a full house at Jack Rose for Lo-Fi Entertainment's swing party tonight. This is mostly a Lindy event, which started off on the right foot with a dance lesson by Dance Manhattan. The crowd enthusiastically danced to the lively Swing Doctors. Keith Hughes played an appealing mix of songs during the breaks. The space may be not as grand as The Supper Club, the site of Lo-Fi's previous event, but there were numerous comments overheard about how great the place looked. The winter themed decorations gave the space an extra shine. This is a very friendly event where you will feel comfortable dancing whether you attend with a partner or alone.
